I’ve signed the open letter from @DebtJustice calling on Prime Minister Andy Burnham to ban bailiffs from collecting council tax debt. Everyone deserves dignity, not intimidation. Will you add your name too? #BanTheBailiffs act.debtjustice.org.uk/burnham-ban-...
On the morning of the #SpringStatement, @mirror.co.uk publishes letters to the Chancellor asking her to think again about cuts to disabled people's support. Thank you to @changingrealities.bsky.social www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
"The current provisions for children’s mental and emotional health are appalling." Too many children with special educational needs are living in poverty. It's a waste of public funds, writes Joanne Barker Marsh from @changingrealities.bsky.social ⤵️ buff.ly/LVi6jyf
“I had hoped that the Labour party would act in a more ‘human-centred’ and compassionate way, that they would understand the plight of vulnerable people…” - read Arjan’s reaction to proposed cuts: 👇
Changing Realities@changingrealities.bsky.social · 2y ago"I ask myself how will people like me and my son survive? While wellbeing and health are considered to be important, they take a backseat to the worries about just basic survival. And these worries are there for us all of the time.' Arjan for @bigissue.com www.bigissue.com/opinion/disa...
Please read and share this thread, and the accompanying new analysis from @changingrealities.bsky.social which comes on the day we learned a record 4.5 million children experienced poverty last year.
Changing Realities@changingrealities.bsky.social · 2y ago🧵We learned today that a record 4.5 million children faced poverty this year, but we also learned that policy change can make a difference. changingrealities.org/writings/cut... New analysis with @cpaguk.bsky.social for @nuffieldfoundation.org
We made it, and I hope we keep on making it to help change what is so wrong for children and families. We don’t want pity, we know how to help solve this. www.bigissue.com/opinion/chan...
We went to Downing Street to demand an end to child poverty
Nearly 200 parents and carers, alongside the Child Poverty Action Group, went to parliament to demand action from the Labour government.

#16Days Think this Advent about women & children losing their homes to be safe #DomesticViolence is a housing issue #CSA is a housing issue No child should lose their home because they disclosed CSA but that’s a harsh reality for too many Please Sign chng.it/nfC9pKRXG5
Travelling for me, since lots of layers of things have happened, has become fraught. This day, not so much, and I loved that. #photography
Everyone: CSA is endemic in our institutions, victims are not believed, abuse is covered up, we need accountability & supportive systems✅ Independent panels: Family Court is one of the key institutions failing✅ Father's rights groups: No, not there, there they are all lying❌
Hi… I went to Number 10 Downing Street today, so that feels huge. I met people I’ve spent years with in a wonderful online community, for the first time as we spoke to secretary’s of state, ministers and the child poverty task force team. Changing Realities. ✨
It went so well! Four enquiries already and we expect many more. Very positive response from designated safeguarding leads (DSLs) across Surrey. #CSASurvivorSky #SideBySideCSA #safeguarding

Victims of domestic abuse are being punished for trying to protect their children. From loss of custody to accusations of malicious intent, the system is stacked against protective parents. This perverse outcome must be addressed urgently. #DomesticAbuse
Gisèle Pelicot in her final statement: “Whatever trauma you go through in childhood – and I have, though maybe not the same ones – there’s a point when you choose the way you are going to be in life. You go right or left, become a criminal or not. We all make our choices.” #ShameMustChangeSides
When someone discloses child sexual abuse please don’t say: “What exactly did he do?” Or: “Are you sure?” Or: “It was such a long time ago” Or: “You’re wrong” Or: “I would have known if that was happening.” Or: “It could have been worse” Or: “Time to move on” (Feel free to add…) #CSA
